frameRate()

changes the number of frames drawn per second

PreviousellipseMode()Nextsetup()

Last updated 2 years ago

Example

frameRate(10)

10 frames are drawn per second so the image refreshes quite slowly

frameRate(60)

60 frames are drawn per second so the image refreshes very rapidly

Sets the number of frames to draw every second on the canvas. For example, frameRate(10) will cause the canvas to attempt to refresh 10 times per second.

The default frame rate is 60 frames per second (fps), if the device cannot draw at the specified fps, it will draw at the highest fps possible. 

frameRate(fps)
Input
Description

fps

number of frames per second to be set
